THE VOICE OF TUB BELLS. 
A littlk girl sat on her father's knee, 
And leaned her head on his breast— 
She had played with her doll in childish glee. 
And now she had passed to rest. 
’Twas sr Sabbath day, and the village bells 
Were calling to morning prayer, 
And loud and clear their mingled tones 
Came through the summer air. 
Do you bear said the child what the church hf 11s say? 
And a smile the red lips curled, 
They seem to be calling to me, to-day, 
“ A beautiful world! A beautiful world!" 
Ten years passed away, aDd a maiden fair. 
She stood by her father’s side, 
And with her was one, a manly form. 
Who claimed her as his bride. 
She was soon to leave the home of her youth. 
To dwell with her heart’s first choice, 
And a tear was stealing over her cheek, 
And emotion silenced her voice. 
But the bells were ringing that wedding day, 
And again the red lips curled, 
For still they seemed, as of old, to say, 
“ A beautiful worldl A beautiful world!’* 
Again ten years, and she came once more 
To the home of her childhood's days; 
She is clad in the widow's sable garb, 
And a tear down ber pale cheeks strays. 
Her feet have been led to the fountain of grief; 
Her path by Death has been crossed; 
She has tasted the bitterest cup of earth, 
She has loved—she has loved and lost 
The church bells were ringing again that day, 
But no smile the wan lips curled, 
For now, to her ears, they seemed to say, 
« A sorrowful world! A sorrowful world!.” 
Oh! daughter of earth, what various tones 
Those bells will ring to your ears, 
As your soul is cheered by visions of hope. 
Or darkened by sorrow and tears; 
But turn from the trials and troubles of life, 
To thoughts of that world above. 
Where the shadow of Death can never intrude, 
Or change reach those that we love. 
To the silvery tones of the bells that day, 
A heart-cheering sound will be gives, 
And ever to you through life they will say, 
“There’s a beautiful world iu Heaven.”

LIFE SCENES. 
BY H. AURELIA AI.I.EN. 
“Papa has come! papa has come!” And little 
Grace Fenton, who had been watching anxiously 
for half an hour, fqr a sight of that well known 
form, clapped her hands, and danced round the 
room with joyous glee. 0, I’m so glad! I’m so 
glad! now we can have some supper, and I shall 
not have to go to bed without seeing my own 
dear papa.” 
Before the merry child bad ceased, her father 
had divested himself of his outside wrappings and 
entered, and catching the little girl in his arms, 
kissed her again and again; and clasping her 
closely to his bosom he murmured, God shield you 
from such misery.” 
“ You are late Charles,” said Mrs. Fenton. "I 
was just going to give Grace something to eat, 
and prepare her for bed. We have not dined yet, 
for as it was New Y r ears, 1 thought you surely 
would be here soon. I know you said last evening 
that you were appointed one of the Relief Com¬ 
mittee, and that you should he visiting part of to¬ 
day—can it be possible that is what has detained 
you so long?” 
“Yes, Anna, but as Birdie says, let us have some¬ 
thing to eat now—a ten hours’ fast has certainly 
given me an excellent appetite and I shall be able 
to appreciate all the good things you have in store. 
I’ve tasted nothing since eight this morning.— 
Then, after she is snugly stowed away in her,little 
crib, come and sit by me, and I will tell you what I 
have seen to-day—if the tear of sympathy does not 
start, I know you will be deeply grateful, that our 
lot has been cast in pleasanter places.” 
Now that they have left the parlor, let us take 
this opportunity to describe them. Charles as 
his wife,—Judge Fenton, as his neighbors call 
him—is truly one of nature's noblemen. lie began 
early in life to practice the pious teachings of an 
angel mother, and is now reaping his reward in 
the esteem of all who know him. Holding one of 
the highest offices in his profession, he is a living 
evidence to all that it is quite possible for a law¬ 
yer to be an humble, devoted Christian. His wife 
is justsuch a woman as Judge Fenton ought to 
have. Their gardener, in speaking of her one day, 
said her heart encircled all Creation. Fortune has 
smiled upon them wonderously, but has only made 
them look with more kindness o i those less favor¬ 
ed than themselves. Crack is t. eir only child. 
“Now, Charles,” said Mrs. Fenton, as she drew 
a light stand near her upon which was already 
placed an elaborately carved work-box (she was 
ever an industrious woman) and seated herself in 
an easy chair,—“now, I am both ready and anxious 
to know what it is which causes the shades of joy 
and sadness to ohase each other so quickly over 
your face to-night” 
“ As I told you, Anna, I was one of a Committee 
appointed to see who were suffering and devise re¬ 
lief. When I left you this morniDg, I went first to 
the office—to transact some unavoidable business— 
then bethought me I would call upon your brother 
Henry, thinking, that in the practice of his pro¬ 
fession, he had found cases of destitution he could 
direct me to. I found him ready, as he ever is in 
any good work, to accompany me —and such 
scenes of want and sorrow, misery and filth, as he 
led me through, I did not suppose it possible to 
exist anywhere, much less in this place. This day’s 
experience has taught me one fact—that just in 
proportion to the ignorance of the people was their 
leant of cleanliness. I wish those who grumble so 
much at being obliged to educate paupers—won¬ 
dering what ihey can want with learning, not being 
able to pat it to any practical nse—I wish they 
could realize this one fact 
“ Jn the first wretched tenement we entered we 
found a poor asthmatic girl—apparently in the last 
stages of consumption—1 ifeially clothed in rags, 
her feet bare—trying to keep house, she said, while 
her mother had gone to wash, as a deed of charity, 
for one worse off than herself. I tell you, Anna, it 
j made me ashamed. In the next was a woman suf¬ 
fering intensely with inflammatory rheumatism— 
contracted by unavoidable exposure—with six 
children around her crying for bread, the eldest 
not ten years old. A few dying embers were all 
that remained, over which they were vainly trying 
to warm their benumbed fingers. Where was the 
husband and father, you will say. Alas, the demon 
rum held him iu his thrall—only last night he stole 
a pair of shoes Henry left on his last visit, and 
exchanged them for that curse to humanity. Alter 
relieving the present necessities of these we has¬ 
tened on. The next door we opened proved to be 
that of a low drinking shop—I was about to close 
it agaiD, when I caught a glimpse of a child, and 
thinking I might do some good, even there, we 
entered. 
“ Around the table were seated four—men I sup¬ 
pose they called themselves, though they scarce 
bore the semblance of humanity—while upon it lay 
a pack of cards, so besmeared with grease and fin¬ 
ger marks, that it was almost impossible to tell one 
from the other. Each had his drinking cup beside 
him, which ever and anon he dipped into an old 
broken pitcher that stood near, and drained it at a 
draught; and from the stifling smell of whisky, it 
was easy to tell what that potation was. 
“ One old fellow seemed to understand the object 
of our visit Said he:—‘I'm ra’al glad you’ve 
come, the times is hard, that’s a fact, and if you 
has anything to give us just shell out,—for though 
I ain’t hungry, I’m very dry.’ Thereupon he took 
another drink, amidst the boisterous mirth of his 
companions. They were too much intoxicated to 
listen to reason, and we left as quickly as possible; 
thinking that to give to such, would he but paying 
a premium on idleness, and rowdyism. But, Anna, 
if that child can be snatched from that sink of 
iniquity, it shall be done.” 
I might for an hour, continue to describe dif¬ 
ferent scenes, yet they would be but the changes to 
be rung on one theme,—want, misery and filth. 
“As we were returning home, about one o'clock, 
thinking our duty for one day at least was done, 
your brother directed my attention to something 
that was disputing with a pig the possession of 
some potato skins, thrown from the slop-pail of 
some neighbor, and which were already partly fro¬ 
zen. When we satisfied ourselves that it was in¬ 
deed human, we picked the poor, little, emaciated 
object out of the mud. He resisted us as none but 
a famished child could do, who thinks he has lost 
liis last chance for a meal, and could only he paci¬ 
fied when the Dr. gave him a stimulating cordial, 
with the promise of something good to eat pretty 
soon—even then, he seemed to look with longing 
eyes at the skins which were fast disappearing 
down the throat of his rival. He was probably not 
far from four years old, a perfect little skeleton, 
with nothing on hut the remains of an old dress, 
so patched and torn it was impossible to tell the 
original, and a ragged apron, evidently his mother’s, 
tied round his neck for further warmth. After 
much coaxing and questioning, he finally told us 
his mother was up there asleep, pointing to an open 
door. We hurried in fearing the worst, hut were 
obliged to pick our way slowly up the broken stairs 
—how the little fellow got down, without breaking 
his neck is more than I can account for, unless it 
is, that a kind Providence watches over all such.— 
In some places the step was entirely gone, but we 
finally reached the landing, and entering, saw a 
sight which was enough to make one’s heart bleed. 
“Upon the floor were thrown some bundles of 
straw, on which lay a man with one thin covering 
over him, and on the floor, by the side of that 
miserable couch, lay a woman insensible. We at 
first thought them both dead, but a moan from the 
man we soon heard, and leaning over to catch the 
words, heard hut a repetition of the same—’twas 
ever ‘ hungry, hungry, always hungry’—and then 
the sound would cease for a few minutes, to be 
again repeated. 
“In the meantime, Henry had satisfied himself 
that the woman was not dead—but had probably 
fallen, exhausted with cold and hunger—and was 
exercising his professional skill in endeavoring to 
revive her. There was no fire, and finding nothing 
to make one, I sallied out, and though I had to 
walk some distance to obtain the materials, I re¬ 
turned and had built a blazing one, before he had 
succeeded iu restoring animation to that almost 
lifeless form. But a blessing awaited liis efforts.— 
First you could feel the faint fluttering of her 
heart—then her eyelids began to quiver—a deep 
drawn sigh struggled up, and escaped, and she 
breathed once more. Seeing her about to open 
ber eyes, I placed the child quickly by her side; 
who, sobbing, said:—‘Mama, mama, wake up;— 
Willie wants some breakfast’ ‘ What, Willie here 
too,’ murmured the stricken one, and a gleam of 
joy overspread her face. I felt so sad, I thought I 
was leaving you all alone. It was not very hard to 
die, was it Willie? now we shall not he cold any 
more, nor hungry, how good it is to he warm, isn’t 
it, Willie?’ 
“The child, still continuing its cries for some¬ 
thing to eat, at last recalled the mothers scattered 
senses, and she opened her eyes with astonishment, 
and would have raised herself up at seeing stran¬ 
gers, but was absolutely unable. When he found 
her able to attend to what he said, Henry briefly 
explained to her who we were, and why we hap¬ 
pened there at that time. When she found it was 
Dr. Hubert, she seemed perfectly satisfied, she had 
heard of him before. (Everywhere I found his 
name a sure passport to favor.) Womanlike, her 
first thought was for another, and she begged 
anxiously to know if nothing could he done to 
save her husband—and that the Dr. might under¬ 
stand his case, she gave a brief history of her life. 
“ Her father was a man of wealth and standing 
in one of our eastern cities, but aristocratic and 
arbitrary—ambitious to have his daughter marry a 
fortune. He was proud of her beauty and accom¬ 
plishments—for she had received a finished educa¬ 
tion—and when William Foster, his clerk, pre¬ 
sumed to ask of him the hand of his daughter, his 
rage was boundless, and he spurned him from his 
door, forbidding her speaking to him move. But 
she possessed a spirit equal to his own, which had 
been entirely uncurbed, having lost her mother 
while yet a child and being left without a restrain¬ 
ing hand. When young Foster urged her to fly 
with him, she left her father's house, feeling that 
his commands were unjust, and she could not obey 
him, and believing he must soon relent, when he 
found opposition could do not good. But, said 
s;he, ‘notwithstanding William has been to me, 
everything that was true and noble, I was wrong, I 
see it now. No one can disobey the divine injunc¬ 
tion, Honor thy father and thy mother, without 
sooner or later, suffering the consequences.’ 
“ He first obtained a situation as book-keeper in 
a large mercantile house, but that firm failing, he 
was thrown out of employment Then he engaged 
himself as clerk in another, but being unjustly 
charged with fraud, and unable to find the guilty 
one, he was again cast upon the world with the loss 
of his reputation. 
“After seeking in vain for a situation more lu¬ 
crative, and feeling that he had a family to support 
he sought and obtained employment as porter, in 
which he continued till three weeks since, when he 
fell down, apparently in a fit as he was lifting some 
heavy bales, and was brought home insensible, and 
his constant cry has since been, ‘hungry, hungry.’ 
“His wife, in her fright, ran for the nearest phy¬ 
sician, which proved to he Dr. Jenks, who came, 
and looking for a moment upon the stricken man 
and casting his eyes round the room as if calcula¬ 
ting his chances for a fee—pronounced it a case of 
idiotic insanity, produced by the excessive use of 
intoxicatiug drinks, and left the house without 
wailing to hear a word of explanation; yet his wife 
tells me she never knew him to touch a drop. 
“She had, before this, been employed in washing 
for some families, but was now unable to leave him, 
and their funds being soon exhausted she had 
pawned everything in order to pay a dollar weekly 
for rent, that they might not be turned into the 
streets. 
“Said she, ‘I could not beg, for I well remem¬ 
bered the loathing with which I once looked upon 
a street beggar, and at last, decided that I would 
write a short sketch of my life, and offer it to some 
benevolent publisher, hoping it might meet the eye 
of some one who would feel my tale to be a true one 
and afford relief. I had no money, and could find 
nothing but a little tin pail, in which I had warmed 
my husband's gruel. This I prevailed on an old 
shop woman to exchange for a few sheets of paper 
and a pen (ink we had) and sat down to write. My 
heart was so full, it seemed as though my thoughts 
must consume the paper—I felt that it was our last 
chance for life. 
“ ‘ When done, I waited anxiously for night, being 
ashamed to appear in the streets in the day-time, 
for I had no clothing but what you see, (which was 
an old faded dress much patched, a thread bare 
shawl and hood.) 1 had taken my skirt to supply the 
place of the bed-quilt which was gone, and hoping 
against hope that in the evening my strange ap¬ 
pearance might not excite remark. At the first 
office, I timidly presented my manuscript and pre¬ 
ferred my request without entering. 
“ ‘ Ha! some beggar's petition, said the man, and 
closed the door in my face. I turned sadly away, 
but, grown wiser by experience, at the next one, I 
entered before I made known my wishes. This 
one said he would be glad to accommodate me, but 
he never received communications from females— 
he considered them wholly incompetent to write for 
the press—none hut mind of a masculine order had 
ever graced his columns—he, therefore, refused 
even to peruse it. 
“ ‘ Kendered desperate by disappointment and 
misery, I was about to give way in despair, but 
when I thought of my husband and child, I deter¬ 
mined to try once more. To the next I presented 
my piece requesting him to read it, which he con¬ 
sented to do, telling me to call to-day for an answer. 
We had nothing to eat since night before last, till 
I took of what your bounty provided, and hunger 
and cold overcame every other feeling, and I went 
this morning—after placing Willie in the foot of 
his father’s bed and telling him to go to sleep—and 
was told the story was too highly colored for truth; 
that it was not possible to find its counterpart in 
real life, and he could not think of publishing it. 
I had but just returned from my fruitless errand, 
my last hope was gone, and I sank down as you 
saw me, and we must all inevitably have perished 
hut for your timely aid.’ 
“ It was easy to see that her words were true, for 
when we entered there was not a thing visible be¬ 
side that pile of straw, if we except an old broken 
tea-pot, a phial partly filled with ink, and a pen.— 
Can you imagine, Anna, such misery as that? The 
season has been unusually mild else they must 
have perished long ere this.” 
“Where are they now, Charles,” said Mrs. Fen¬ 
ton, “ surely you have not left them in that wretch¬ 
ed abode?” 
“No, Anna, I went for a carriage, and they were 
immediately removed to that little office near Dr. 
Hubert’s, which was vacated last week, and now 
I think they can truly say, they have a good bed, a 
warm fire, and plenty to eat; and the Dr. has still 
hope that he can cure his patient, pronouncing 
his disease a nervous fever, with a strong determi¬ 
nation to the brain, hut which was probably 
checked by the absence of fire, and stimulating 
medicine. 
“Now, I hope, I have your forgiveness for keep¬ 
ing you waiting, inasmuch as I have begged the 
manuscript and have been promised it for your 
perusal.” 
Reader, this is no fancy sketch, bnt a plain, un¬ 
varnished narrative of facts. If you think it too 
highly wrought, just follow the dictates of your 
own heart—seek out the suffering; disdain not to 
enter their wretched abodes; and see, if yon de 
not find misery greater than has ever been woven with 
the pen of romance. 
Seneca Falls, N. Y., 1858. 
A Social Maxim. —The practical good sense of 
Jefferson's family letters is characteristic of the 
man. In a letter to his eldest daughter (Mra Ran¬ 
dolph,) he says:—“I am happy to find you are on 
good terms with your neighbors. It is almost the 
most important circumstance in life, since nothing 
is so corroding as frequently to meet persons with 
with whom one has any difference. The ill-will of 
a single neighbor is an immense drawback on the hap¬ 
piness of life, and therefore their good will cannot be 
bought too dear." This is home philosophy which 
all will feel, and would do well to practice.
